RVCA SURF AND WOMEN'S ADVOCATE SAGE ERICKSON RECENTLY DOMINATED AT THE VERY FIRST WSL QS3,000 EVENT OF 2019, HELD AT AVOCA BEACH, AUSTRALIA. SAGE WAS THE WOMAN TO BEAT ALL WEEK, ACCORDING TO THE WSL RECAP, AS SHE POSTED SOLID NUMBERS IN EVERY HEAT THAT SHE SURFED. THE FINAL WAS NO DIFFERENT AS SHE DOMINATED WITH A TWO-WAVE COMBINATION OF 17.07 – THE HIGHEST HEAT TOTAL OF THE WOMEN'S DIVISION. HAVING FALLEN OFF THE ELITE CHAMPIONSHIP TOUR AT THE END OF 2018, THIS 3000-POINT BOOST WILL GO ALONG WAY TO GETTING HER BACK WHERE SHE BELONGS IN 2020.
